"The coolest of Britain’s young jazz bands"
Ivan Hewett, The Telegraph
[Empirical are] "the young doyens of modern Britjazz... A superb piece of work by any standards... As close to taking the band home as it gets."
Roger Thomas, BBC Music Magazine (Out ‘n' In review, five stars)
Empirical’s smart post-bop musical style - coupled with their suited and booted sartorial sharpness - has drawn admiring notices on both sides of the Atlantic. Expertly incorporating elements of classical, African and Cuban musical forms into their original, sophisticated, fresh-sounding jazz, Empirical make a point of not being centred around a specific front line or leader; it is very much a complete band, each member contributing equally, adding their own facets to the overall sound.
